"So, can I see your speech yet?" Kurt asked. They were at Kurt's house one day after school; Kurt was sitting on the floor in his Dalton uniform typing up an essay for English while Blaine was sprawled out across the younger teens bed, frantically scribbling words over a piece of paper.
"Hmm...nope," Blaine laughed, leaning over the end of the bed to kiss Kurt on the cheek. "You can wait until next week along with everyone else."
"Meanie." Kurt pouted, leaning his head back against the mattress to look up at his boyfriend.
"I want it to be a surprise!" Blaine replied, smacking Kurt playfully on the shoulder.
"But I hate surprises." Kurt whined.
"Stop being cute." Blaine said in response, nuzzling his face into Kurt's cheek.
"Sorry, I don't know how to stop." Kurt smiled, turning his head to kiss the older teen.
"Ugh, stop distracting me!" Blaine groaned, pulling away from Kurt who began laughing. "Do your homework!" He insisted.
"Yes, dad." Kurt teased, turning around and typing up his paper.
"Hey," Blaine said, scrunching up a piece of paper and throwing it at Kurt. "I love you."
"I love you too, doofus." Kurt giggled.
"We're still having our movie night tomorrow, right?"
"Yup." Kurt grinned at Blaine.
"I can't wait." Blaine said deviously before getting back to work on his graduation speech.
"Ugh, Sebastian is so aggravating!" Kurt groaned around a mouthful of popcorn. Blaine had picked Kurt up after school and they had gone back to Kurt's house for their movie night. They were cuddling on the sofa and even though Kurt was eating pretty much every five seconds, he wouldn't stop going on about how much Sebastian annoyed him.
"Kurt, you're starting to stress me out." Blaine replied, pulling Kurt flush against him to stop the younger teen from flailing around.
"I'm sorry," Kurt sighed, leaning into Blaine's embrace. "He just annoys me so much." He continued, shoving another handful of popcorn into his mouth.
"Hm, I never would've guessed," Blaine laughed, rolling his eyes affectionately and propping his chin on Kurt's shoulder. "I told you, don't let him get to you."
"I know, it's just kind of hard when he seems to be walking through the same corridor as me every time I leave a damn classroom."
"Look, I'm glad that you're talking to me about stuff, but can we just forget about Sebastian and watch the movie please?"
"That's a little hard when we're watching The Little Mermaid..." Kurt pointed out, eliciting a laugh from the older teen.
"Yes, but let's be completely honest here...the crab is a lot cuter, don't you think?"
"Definitely." Kurt laughed, snuggling up to Blaine.
"Uh, Kurt...you've eaten all of the popcorn, already..."
"I'm kind of a stress eater." Kurt shrugged.
"I've noticed," Blaine giggled, kissing Kurt on the forehead. "I'll go make some more."
By the time the boys were on their third movie, they had devoured four whole bowls of popcorn and Kurt felt like his stomach was about to explode.
"Ugh, why did you let me eat so much?" Kurt groaned, rolling over to bury his face in Blaine's T-Shirt.
"Because when I tried to stop you I ended up getting popcorn thrown at my face and an angry Kurt telling me to shut up."
"Oh yeah...that happened, didn't it?"
"It sure did," Blaine laughed, pulling Kurt closer to him. "Are you okay?"
"I feel sick." Kurt mumbled from where his face was now pressed into Blaine's shoulder.
"I'll get you some water," Blaine said, trying to get up but being pinned to the sofa. "Uh, Kurt...you're gonna have to let me go if you want water."
"Comfy." Kurt replied as a way of explanation.
"I swear, you're such a little cuddle bug," Blaine smiled, because honestly, there was nothing cuter than when Kurt acted like a human teddy bear. "Come here." He said, standing up and pulling Kurt into his arms before leading them both into the kitchen where he proceeded to fill a glass with water and then directed Kurt back to the living room.
"Thank you." Kurt said as he crawled into Blaine's arms while clutching his water like his life depended on it.
"You're welcome." Blaine replied into the top of Kurt's head where he peppered a few kisses before propping his chin on top and focusing on the movie.
Burt walked into the living room a few hours later to the adorable sight of the boys cuddling in their sleep on the sofa. Blaine was pushed as far back into the pillows as he could go by Kurt's body. Kurt was lying with his back pressed flush against Blaine's chest while the older teens arms circled his waist and Kurt gripped one of his hands. Burt smiled at the two boys before draping a soft blanket over them, turning the TV off and closing the curtains as it had gotten dark out and it was pointless them being open. Although it was Burt's job as Kurt's dad to hate anybody that his son dated, it broke his heart to think of the two teens being apart until Kurt graduated. Then he noticed that Kurt was still wearing his Dalton uniform and he realised how well they'd both dealt with the transition and he knew that they'd be okay. He smiled, ducking down to place a gentle kiss on his sons cheek before leaving the room and shutting the door quietly.
Blaine woke up shortly after Burt left and smiled at his boyfriend. Kurt had flipped around in his sleep so that he was now facing Blaine. They were so close to each other that Blaine could feel warm breath tickle his cheek every time that Kurt exhaled and the younger teen looked so content while he was sleeping that Blaine just wanted to wrap him up in his arms and never let go. Blaine gently swiped some of Kurt's hair out of his eyes and smiled lovingly when Kurt unconsciously leaned into the touch.
The older teen was happy to watch the lazy smile that played on Kurt's lips while he slept until he eventually stirred into consciousness and the small smile spread into a wide grin.
"Hi." Kurt smiled, rubbing his nose against Blaine's.
"Hi," Blaine returned. "Feeling better?"
"Mostly, I still feel a little icky though."
"Does sickness turn you into a huge baby or something?" Blaine laughed. "Because every time you're ill you seem to become extra cute and I didn't even know it was possible for you to get any cuter."
"Shut up, you dork." Kurt teased.
"You love me...and my dorkiness."
"I guess I do a little bit..." Kurt mused as Blaine rolled on top of him and pinned him to the sofa.
"I love you too but that won't stop me from tickling you right now..." Blaine warned.
"Why would you want to do that when you could just kiss me instead?" Kurt asked decisively.
"True..." Blaine said, leaning down to kiss his boyfriend. He stayed like that a few moments to make sure that Kurt was completely distracted before attacking his side with tickles, causing Kurt to all but scream.
"Blaine!"
"Yes Kurt?" Blaine asked calmly, trying not to burst into laughter.
"Stop. Tickling. Me!" Kurt screamed in between laughter.
"Hm...I suppose I'll have pity on you just this once." Blaine said, pulling away from Kurt who pushed him backwards before crawling over Blaine, ultimately reversing their previous position.
"Jerk." Kurt said, leaning down to join their lips together.
By the time Blaine's graduation rolled around, Kurt was a huge bundle of nerves and excitement, he could barely sit still in his seat. Of course he was proud of Blaine and he was excited to see his amazing boyfriend graduate, but he was also nervous. Graduation meant that there was exactly three weeks until Blaine left for New York, and that made Kurt extremely nervous.
"Are you okay bud?" Burt asked his son. "You kinda look like you're gonna throw up."
"Mhm, fine." Kurt mumbled, visibly squirming in his seat until Burt practically pinned him to the chair.
"I know that you're nervous about this but will you please, for the love of god, just sit still?" Burt huffed as Jenna took her seat on the other side of Kurt and laughed at the pair. Kurt just sighed, and slumped down in his seat so far that he was close to sliding onto the floor. "You'd think he's about six years old." Burt laughed to Jenna as they both shook their heads at the jittery fifteen year old.
Kurt couldn't sit still for pretty much the entirety of the graduation ceremony. He changed his position at least thirteen times and he was also pretty sure most of the parents were staring at him at some point or another. The only time Kurt managed to stay still was when Blaine came on stage for his speech, and even then it was a struggle.
"Um...hi," Blaine started awkwardly. "So, I was told a few weeks ago that I had to write a speech for today and although I wrote everything down I still have no idea what the hell I'm talking about so please bear with me," He continued, eliciting laughs from several audience members and a sarcastic eye roll from his mother. "Okay, so first, I'd like to say a huge congratulations to the entire senior class, we've finally made it out of this hell hole!" Blaine exclaimed jokingly, earning cheers from all of the seniors. "We've all spent four years working our butts off to get here, some a little more than others, but all of us nonetheless. I'd also like to thank all of the teachers who helped us get here, but I'd like to say a special thank you to Mr Schuester. Glee was just a place where a bunch of outcasts banded together to sing songs and attempt to dance, but you made us feel special. You helped each and every one of us feel like we were included in something important and you helped us grow up. A massively huge thank you to my amazing mother," He continued, sending a loving smile towards his mum. "You've always been there for me when I needed you and you've been so amazingly accepting of who I am and I honestly couldn't be more grateful to have a mum as incredible as you, so thank you for being your awesome self for the past eighteen years of my life and I love you so much. This may be a little strange, but thank you to Burt Hummel. When I first met you, I was terrified that you were gonna hate me," Blaine said as Burt and Kurt both laughed in unison. "But you didn't. You made me feel like a part of your family and you've always been so supportive of my relationship with your son, even when I acted like the biggest idiot ever. Which brings me to my last and most important person. I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for my unbelievably amazing boyfriend. I remember seeing you in the hallway on your first day of school, and I remember almost walking into somebody because honestly, you were the cutest person I'd ever seen," Blaine laughed slightly as tears threatened his eyes. "I remember seeing you get pushed over and how badly I wanted to help you, I don't think I've ever run so fast in my life. I helped you up and you were so shy and nervous, and I kind of thought you were scared of me at first. But then, I got to know you and I started falling so hard for you, Kurt Hummel. I was terrified to ask you out because I didn't think there was a chance in hell that you'd like me back until you showed up at the Lima Bean in your pyjamas and hid in the bathroom until your best friend told me that you had a crush on me," The older teen continued, laughing as he saw Kurt laugh and hide his head in his hands. "Then we began dating and...I fell hopelessly in love with you. You're probably going to kill me for saying all of this later, especially seeing as your dad is here, but you're the most amazing person I've ever met. You're so selfless and you always put other people before yourself. You have such a huge heart and you always care about how people are feeling. And...god, you're so damn forgiving. A few months ago I was afraid that I'd lost you forever, but you...you found a way to forgive me for my idiocy, which I still can't believe. I love all of the little things about you, like the way you scrunch your nose up when you don't like something or the way you turn into a human teddy bear when you're feeling ill or upset, and your unhealthy love for ice cream. I've known you for a year now and I still find it so hard to believe that you're only fifteen because you're so amazing. It's hard to find even adults who are as compassionate and accepting as you, but...there you are," He said as a few tears finally slipped from his eyes. "I love you so much, Kurt. And I'm gonna miss you so bad while I'm in New York without you. Uhm," He continued, trying to swallow down the sudden lump in his throat. "So...thank you for listening to me ramble about my incredible friends," He said, looking at Mr Schue. "Family," He said next, smiling at his mum and Burt, who looked awestruck at the eighteen year old standing on stage saying all these things. "And boyfriend." He finished, looking lovingly at Kurt who was basically crying his eyes out and barely keeping it together any more, before returning to his seat next to Rachel with the rest of the seniors as he attempted to keep his feelings in check.
As soon at the ceremony ended, Kurt darted from his seat and practically pounced on Blaine as they held each other and tried not to turn into crying wrecks in front of everyone.
"I'm so proud of you." Kurt mumbled into Blaine's shoulder.
"I love you so much." Blaine replied, hugging Kurt impossibly tighter.
"I love you too." Kurt cried, barely even noticing how wet he had made Blaine's graduation gown already.
